Different situation with COMM, they have a Dev who stole millions in stakes from other community members, that's pretty much an accepted fact by even the most loyal supporters of COMM. I've said my piece over there, hopefully they will obsolete the original Dev going forward and prosper as a community and a coin.
And as far as it XBC being the fairest IPO you have ever seen, I'm sure it is the fairest you have seen bcs you got in and are enjoying the price being manipulated upward on Poloniex, how could it not be when you have every "pumper" on Poloniex with a cut along with the owner of the exchange.
Scam coins gonna Scam
Well, I have a question for you then.
If it was an ipo here in this forum, where people sent in their btc for a promise of future coin later, how is that fairer? Just because it was on an exchange and people were guaranteed to get their coins, it is somehow considered a scam?
You do know how the ipo worked, right? It was up for at least a day or two (by the time I even found our about it), with coins listed for sale on the exchange. You just had to buy them like any other coin and they went right to your exchange wallet. There were tons of coins available, tons.
And I don't say it was fair because I got in, because I barely even did get in. I only have around 125 coins, and only half I got at ipo prices. So not many coins really.
If you say this coin is a scam because price is manipulated because of a pump, then every single crypto ever made is also a scam, as well as bitcoin. I also view it less as a pump right now, and more as reaching a more accurate floor based on number of coins. You can argue the point that you don't think the coin is worth it, don't like the name of the coin, or don't like the committee idea. That's fine. But none of that makes the coin a scam.
